You shouldn't give them anything that was designed for a different kind of animal, like rabbit pellets or something.
Beardies like a variety of food, crickets, pellets, fresh fruit and veggies, and they should be offered that variety every day. There are things they shouldnt' be offered, like avocados.
Here are a couple of links to some care sheets.

Pellets are not a complet balanced diet, and should not be used alone. They need insects such as crickets, superworms (only adult dragons), phoenix worms, and silkworms to meet their protein needs. The insects must be fed correctly and "gutloaded". Calcium and multivitamins can be dusted on the insects. They also need a fresh salad every day.

If you are too lazy to feed them properly, you shouldn't get one.
